What do I need to register to vote?

I am a Wisconsin Resident:

A valid Wisconsin Driver’s License or Wisconsin Identification Card. 

If your local address is not current on your ID, you can update your address with the DMV on their website for free. You do not need to update your physical ID for voting purposes.

*OR*

A physical MIAD Student ID with your legal name and signature, expiring no more than two years after it was issued (request a MIAD ID for voting purposes here.) AND a copy of a tuition receipt dated within the last nine months containing your current address.

  • You may request a copy of your tuition receipt from Bonnie Murphy, Bursar.
  • Please email bonniemurphy@miad.edu or visit RL10 to obtain a copy of your tuition receipt. It only takes a few minutes! 
  • If needed, students must first change their address with the Registrar’s Office to their local, current address.
